If someone you follow on Instagram unfollows you, it can be pretty disheartening. After all, you thought you had a good thing going with this person – but apparently not.

It’s important not to take it too personally, though. There could be any number of reasons why they unfollowed you, and it’s likely that it has nothing to do with you as a person. Maybe they’re just trying to declutter their feed, or maybe they follow too many people and need to cut back.
